Are you interested in home décor? Do you think friends more important than family? Does standing out in a crowd make you sweat? If you answered 'yes' to all of those questions, then you’re probably a PlayStation 3 owner, according to the latest research.

Xbox 360 owners tougher than PS3 fans - survey

Erm, one question clearly missing?

Are you happy with the reliability of your console?

Also, it seems that the two machines have slightly different markets and are no longer just games machines.

Personally i have a PS3 and have stayed away from the xbox due to M$ world domination. I also avoid all Apple products for the same reason. I would NEVER buy an I-phone (or i-anything) as i dont want to live in steve jobs' pocket. I dont think Sony are angels either, but they do at least seem to be improving the PS3 with every firmware release, and it is really nice to be able to use it for pics, music, tinternet and such without having to boot up a pc and watch on a titchy screen. I dont need to buy extras to hook it up to my network and i DO watch blu-ray movies on mine, along with its great upscaling dvd ability.

It aint perfect (i would like to have HDMI and Multiout at the same time) and i would like an easier HDD swap, but really, i have no complaints. It is even housed in a closed cupboard and still doesnt overheat (which i really couldnt beleive of an XBox).

I also have a Wii. Never use it.....ever.....it is rubbish.....so why is it so popular?.....beats me......

Money and success?

Credible..

LOL Yeah right, this survey accurately measures what? OS Platforms may be devided more by types of people/age groups/etc but gaming platforms XBox or PS aren't really, both are platforms for full on gamers, so all that holds true about gamers holds true about XBox AND PS fans with the exception some may be Sony fanbois and the others love a piece of the Billy Borg Boat, but are other than that the same!

Only the Wii is different, that ones suitable for old people who want to replace their monopoly board and easily amused youngsters! :P~

Makes sense

Rent

wouldn't be as expensive if you had a friend to split it with..!

just a suggestion.

I live with my mate, have a 360, ps3, and a wii, use the 360 the most by far, sony need to get some games out soon or i'm gonna sell the thing (just like im doing with the wii as soon as I can be bothered)

Playground survey?

WTF?

hmmm

@ tim

"I also have a Wii. Never use it.....ever.....it is rubbish.....so why is it so popular?.....beats me......" - ditto.. multiout? i use optical into my Av amp.. wish id waited a year to get the HDMI swapping AV amps now, but to be honest i like having screen and sound separate.

i just bought the mrs a nintendo ds.. lets me use the TV for GTA and footy more :) plus braintraining is fun (was hammered last night and i was apparently 71 years old brain age! lmao although in my fairness we couldnt figure out one game and she told me it wasnt against the clock lol!)

@ "Seriously, everyone knows PC gaming is best anyway..." - not really. imho consoles and PCs suit different games. i find using the ps3 hard for proper fps games (used to play bf2142 to death and was in top 100 on original UT once upon a time! :)) - maybe im too far from my big tv but i find it much easier to see enemies when im 18" from a 20" TFT. plus mouse and keys suit fps (not a fan of mmorpg). wheras sports games like football (im a pro evo boy) are crap on a pc... also PCs generally have shite controllers for thing type of thing, whereas the ps controllers always rocked and had enough buttons to do what was needed (pc controllers never had enough buttons - maybe do now tho!).

xbox and ps3 both do similar games. xbox seems to be more fps bases wheras ps3 seems aimed at adventure, puzzle and more sports style games. not much in it but my dvd player died so it seemed the logical upgrade path (or so i told the mrs lol)

and my console is bigger - i still have my old bbc model b with the viglen kit - its frikkin massive :) ahh that massive 32k memory! rock on!
